Brisket On The @WeberGrills Kettle Using The Snake Method

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

What I learned in this cook was that no matter what, you have to be patient and wait for the brisket to be probe tender.

This Brisket reached 204 degrees internal but wasn’t probe tender, enetered a stall, temps retreated even with steady 250 degree pit temps all the way from 204 back down to 189.  It wasn’t probe tender until it came back up to 195F.

Patience and understanding the stall paid off.  DSC07510DSC07512DSC07513

Annisquam Lighthouse

We took our visitors around on a recent foggy day to the Annisquam Lighthouse.   It was pretty and sunny at the lighthouse but the fog lurked out there waiting…….. and it makes a subtle appearance as the lighthouse blared its warning.

It looks almost out of focus, but the fog gives it a nice soft look.

Model Airplane Found In Ravenswood

Hi Joey
Just to let you know that I found this model airplane in Ravenswood a couple of weeks back. I put it on Facebook as well as Gloucester Things on Facebook but had no responses, I wondered if you could put it in GoodMorningGloucester.
Many thanks
Regards
George

Guided Autobiography Group with Gloucester Writers Center

  • Join members of our community for a journey of personal exploration,
    writing, and community building as we:
    • leave a legacy for family members • facilitate life transitions
    • enhance personal growth • contribute to history • enjoy the
    thrill of self-discovery
    Guided autobiography is a fun and effective process for life review
    that combines autobiographical writing with small group experiences.
    Each week we will use prompting questions to jumpstart and organize our memories
    around a meaningful life theme. The weekly sessions also provide a
    safe space for sharing our work-in-progress, and participants will be
    asked to share two pages that they wrote during the previous week.
    Guided autobiography is especially powerful for those entering or
    wanting to enter a new phase of life, but everyone can benefit.

    This group will meet for ten Mondays Starting September 17 and ending on November 19 from 7-9 p.m. at the Maud / Olson Library at 108 East Main Street.
    Class cost: $250
    Minimum enrollment: 5
    Maximum enrollment: 8

Pier 23

We had lunch at the “new” Pier 23 recently. Contrary to expectation, we each ordered a wrap. Stuffed with real chicken chunks, accompanied by strips of bacon….and the chipotle mayo was more chipotle than mayo which I loved. Friendly service, steady customer stream, varied menu…..we’ll be back!
